| My DS is a 3rd year at UVA and is a history major. He is also doing the distinguished majors program. He started as a politics major and didn't really enjoy the classes. I would like to take some of the classes he is taking - they sound so interesting! He is getting a great education at UVA and intends to go to law school. |

| Vandy is an excellent combination of strong history undergrad dept and very strong -- maybe too strong -- school spirit. Then there's Nashville wrapped around it all |
